A Look At The World Of Final Fantasy XIV

How weird is it to be thinking about XIV before XIII is even out?

As great as the Final fantasy series has been they have been launching a game a week as of late....kind of worried they are spreading themselves a little thin and losing quality as well. Just my opinion.

Man, I hope they still have that SICK PlayOnline music.
 
... and the hours of downloading. That was my favorite part.

I wonder if they'll work out a pay to play system on the PS3.

@FunExplosions: You know, I just installed PlayOnline just so I could rip all the music.
 
On the trailer, I think it was really good especially with the awesome music at the end. I'm trying to figure out how much of that was in-game engine..

@McPaper: Ah man, I was joking. The trailer music was good and so was a lot of FFXI's music. But that damn PlayOnline jazz that played in an infinite loop during the entire installation almost had me crying it was so painful.

The only thing that interests me about that trailer is the in game card game.  I want to play that and nothing else.  Especially since the previous FF MMO was a huge grind fest with 4+ hour raid bosses.  I just don't understand how you can have a job and still play the game.

I don't know why everyone is dismissing it just because its an mmo. I thought ff11 looked bland and thats why I never played it. But this looks pretty interesting to me.

I'll give this one a try, just like I gave FFXI a try (twice). Maybe they'll fix the PC controls to actually not be complete garbage.

Retail MMOs asren't free.  Wish people would get that through their heads.  I prefer subscriptions anyway.  Once you make your MMO free to play, you've opened the floodgates for every interweb retard to join in on the fun.  The free to play model ruined Anarchy Online, and it's why the community in all those free Asian MMOs suck so hard.

MMOs always cut great trailers. I always feel kinda disappointed with the end product. Maybe this one will change my mind.

I loved FFXI and I'm very much looking forward to this, even though trailers and cut scenes don't mean shit for MMOs.

@tedbear: Some of the trailer is CGI, and some of the trailer is in game footage. Go to www.gametrailers.com if you want to see some actual gameplay footage from gamescon. Although it's more of a tutorial the guy is doing for the person filming, so you won't see anything epic, but then again almost all MMORPG footage from any MMO of a person just playing it is a bit dry---you have to be playing to understand the fun of it.
 
@SoothsayerGB:
They have already stated you will not be able to transfer your 11 characters to 14. You can however transfer your friends list from 11 to 14. If you mean though the same looking character with updated graphics there are a few that look similar to the ones in 11, but none are the exact replicants of what is on 11. The reason is they want people who like 11 to play 11, and people interested in 14 to play 14, but if someone who played 11 wants to play both they have that middle ground there too.
 
@Glennygisbad:
This is the only mmo where that WILL matter. If you are unfamiliar with FF11 it had a full blown Final Fantasy game story with cut scenes starring your character you made. Every expansion for that game also had its own story to go through and complete again starring your character. 14 will be the same---a MMORPG with a focus on a Final Fantasy game narrative. To see graphics like this, on par with FF13, it will be a real treat to play a MMORPG/Final Fantasy with a character I make as the lead. :)
 
This is my most anticipated game in EVER! It'll be my game of the year 2010. I can't wait for beta! :D

@Zlatko: Haha I played FFXI for way too long (325ish days game time) (>.<). I didn't care give two shits about the story in 11. I read most of the cut scenes and they weren't very entertaining. The only good CS, for the most part, was the opening movie. The rest we in game footage and now that i look back was/is just ugly.  FFXIII is my most anticipated game of next year followed by XIV. I'm lacking some JRPGness in my life and can't wait!

this game is looking good, though i'm hoping it will make improvement upon the problems of ff11. namely, the subscription cost exceeding the cost of world of warcraft. you would imagine they'd consider either making it at an equal price point or cheaper if they are wishing to capture an audience share. to put it simply, im a die hard ff fan, yet i went without ff11 in favour of wow because it was cheaper to continue with.
